Jasprit Bumrah is ruled out of the two Test series against Sri Lanka, starting in Galle on August 15. TimesofIndia.com has learnt that the star seamer continues to feel discomfort in his left knee after an initial assessment at the BCCI CoE (Centre of Excellence). The stakeholders have decided that it's not safe to push him back into cricket and advised a full recovery.
